I dont take hurricanes lightly and have had some pretty big rows with folk who minimize them.

 

This is going to be brutal on the Fla coast.

Im exhausted by the weather people in the triad trying to scare everyone into believing this is going to be anything more than a bad storm.

 

And I didnt say apocalyptic. Ed Mathews did

So is this your definition of just another storm?

 

Just looking at the pictures it looks pretty significant.

 

*43 people dead from this storm so far...

In Greensboro, this was just another storm

They said earlier today that the dam at lake lure was going to collapse but it didnt

They canceled school in areas that just got rain

They preempted regular programming to scare people into thinking that a hurricane was going to hit High Piont but it didnt

Debby was worse but they wanted us to think this was going to be an apocalypse

 

 

You're not understanding that Im annoyed by the ramped up "the sky is falling" way they are treating this weather event.

 

This is why people dont believe weather forecasters when it really is going to be bad

So 43 people died as of right now and you think that wasn't a big deal?

 

Cold world!

The hurricane is 1 system. Do you realize we weren't the only state affected?

 

A loss of life is always serious. 3 people died today because of this storm. That's a big deal. Asheville is literally flooded. People will be without power for multiple days. All this is a big deal.

 

Just because your area didn't get hit hard doesn't mean everyone else did.

I realize that.

 

Do you realize that's part of their job? It's better to expect the worst than not expect much. They just want people to be safe. I have no idea why you're so upset about that lol

Ive stated it quite clearly.

Im irritated over the hyperbolic coverage.  Im not worked over the national coverage or the coverage of the aftermath but the talk of the anticipated widespread devastation 500+ miles from where it came ashore and 100 miles from the path is ridiculous.

Who cares? You're not forced to watch them lol. I mean, better safe than sorry. Maybe them using scare tactics will keep morons off the roads. Big deal, it wasn't catastrophic like they said it would be. Isn't that a good thing?

Friend of mine near Asheville with a check-in:

 

We are ok. No power and it won't be back for a while. Got more gas yesterday for the generator. Roads are washed out. Trees and lines are down. Luckily no damage to our property. Cell service is spotty

This is soo sad I hope NC can recover quickly
